About this home
Step back in time to a piece of Old Florida paradise without sacrificing modern comfort. Built in 1875 and set on 4.8 picturesque acres, this one-of-a-kind historic farmhouse has been extensively and immaculately renovated while thoughtfully preserving the character, warmth and craftsmanship that make a home of this era so special. The three-bedroom, two-bath residence is filled with distinctive details you simply won't find in a new home. Warm wood floors, cypress beams and shelving, abundant natural light and carefully selected finishes complement the home's historic architecture. At the heart of the home is a truly unique farmhouse kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, an apron-front sink, new appliances and stove hood, and an extraordinary 1800s kitchen island originally from an old store in Patterson, North Carolina. Throughout the home, old and new have been blended with remarkable attention to detail, creating spaces that feel authentic, comfortable and completely at home in their surroundings. While the historic charm remains, extensive improvements have brought the property into the modern era. Updates include new electrical, new HVAC, new roof, Hardie Board siding, new wood flooring and subfloors, resurfaced ceilings, updated drain field, new appliances and numerous additional improvements. Outside, the transformation continues with a new asphalt driveway, new landscaping and patios, a rebuilt front porch and a solar-powered entrance gate. The 4.8-acre property is designed for those ready to enjoy the country lifestyle from day one. Two fenced and cross-fenced pastures, along with a separate dry lot, provide flexibility for horses and other livestock. The impressive 30' x 38' center-aisle barn features three stalls and has electrical service, while a separate 15' x 40' workshop with dedicated lawn-equipment room, an 11' x 14' garden shed and covered parking provide exceptional space for equipment, projects and storage. Mature, centuries-old live oaks create the unmistakable atmosphere of Old Florida, while established landscaping, patios and fruit trees—including mulberry, plum, peach, guava and apple—add to the property's charm and self-sufficient appeal. Whether your dream is horses, a hobby farm, homesteading or simply having room to breathe, this is a rare opportunity to own a turn-key historic Florida homestead where much of the hard work has already been done. From the beautifully renovated 1875 farmhouse to the barn, pastures, workshop and gardens, every part of the property contributes to a lifestyle that would be difficult to recreate today. Historic character. Modern comfort. Nearly five acres of Old Florida. This is not simply a home—it's a property with a story and a lifestyle all its own.
